sHIP US YOUR COTTON.

We have long contended that our
Cotton Market is the best in the State
and every season the fact is more and
more manifest. This season, how
ever, has so far afforded the best IL
lustration. We have received more
Cotton, sold it quicker and given bet
ter satisfaction than any season since
we have been in business. All classes
of shippers have given us trial this
season, and all classes have been
pleased with the result.
If you have not yet favored us with
shipments, we would strongly urge
you to turn your next consignment
to us. We have the means and ia
cilities to please you. II you are
shipping elsewhere, we ask you to
divide you shipments with us and
compare results. If you have ship
ned us before, and have been induced
to quit for some cause or other, you
NAV be sure that the cause was more
apparent than real, and all we want
is, candid explanation and fair op-
portunity to make things right and
satisfactory. We don'tpretend to be
infallible, but we do claim that on
account of our long experience in the
business, thorough training and per-
feet organization, we can obtain the
very best results out of lot OF Cot
ton, if anybody can.
We would be glad to correspond with
parties interested in Cotton, and send sten-
ellis and daily quotations on application, free
of charge.

on how to prevent drouth Experience

the truth Of the theory advanced. Rain
fall is always more frequent in dense
Iy timbered countries, and this is
changed as the forests are cut down.
In prairie countries rain falls mostly
along streams fringed with trees.
We would change the conditions as
to the rainfall in Western Texas in q
very few years by the process propos-

water for stock purposes by digging;
we can get rainfall for agriculture by
creating forests. Let US begin the

President Cleveland's Method ia
Making Appointments.

Appointment Clerk Hsssler, Of
the Interior Department, talking
about the newspaper stories in re-

There is one thing that can be set
down as absolutely certain about
the whole business, and that is ira
f'"t IT, l?'aland is not trying
in the matter os appointments -
FIX himself for denomination in the
political sense. lie doesnot appoint
a man because he is a ward politi~
clan. who can be depended upon to
vote for him at the next election
in return for disappointment. The.
main idea in all the appointments,
which Cleveland has made has been
to secure an honest man who will

word to fill the position for which,
he is chosen. Cleveland is a great
man tor seeing the men he
thinks of appointing before con-
hitting himself, for he says he eau
size a man up much better by q
few minutes talk with him than
he can by a whole pile OF remcon,-
mendations. He, however, does
not throw aside the letters and in
dorsements which are filed with the
papers of applicants, but no mat
ter how many of them there arc
he examines each one carefully, and
sometimes spends whole day in
picking out TIE best. Then he will
go through the list of endorsers
and examine their characters. 20
that it is matter OF considerable
time to decide upon every single
appointment. That he does not
shirk his work is shown by very
significant fact. This administers

The Heroism of Soldiers Bride
tier Later Struggles for Sus-
tenance.

The recent recovery. in this city,
from q severe illness of the late
Gen. George E Pickett recalls one
of the most interesting stories that
COMES back to US from the war.
Its chief interest is her tagging de.
votion to her husband in all the
hours of hia hardship and danger.
Priva ion, sickness or suffering of
any kind only served to bring out
more beautifully her heroic and
womanly nature. During the
closing year Of the war she follow :
ed him on the battle-felds, lived
under canvas and went through
camp-life like soldier, being re.
peatedIy under fire and making
narrow escapes yet still remaining
faithfully by his side. When she
married him she was but Is years
of age, beautiful in face and form,
gifted in intellect and gentle in her
nature.
She was, too, a perfect and fearless
rider. When the wer was over an
effort was made to take from Gen.
Pickett the privileges given him
by the Grant Lee cartel, and they
went to Canada. There they had
10 friends no money, ADD no pros
pect of either, with a young child

never faltered. With that indom-
table courage which never desert.

education, she obtained professor.

Of the family until General Grant
isisted that the cartel should be
kept and they once more returned
to their home. Gen. Grant then
rendered General Pickett the posi-.
ton of marshall of Virginia. but he
accepted a position IN an insurance
company, with handsome salary
attached. Though all then seem.
ed blight, the, worst sorrow was
yet to come In a few years Gen
eral Pickett died, and she was left
to her own resources. 1t was then
that her helpless condition aroused
the sympathy of the south, and
subscription was started for her,
headed with eight thousand dol
lars by one State. She firmly de.
clined to receive this, upon hear
ing of it, and shortly afterwards
secured small government posi-.

and family. among her friends and
